First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s² Weight = (14 kg)(9.8 m/s²) Weight = 137.2 N The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle. Weight = (137.2 N)(sin 52°) weight = 108.1 N
